Feeling lost, Mousse escapes to a beautiful beach house far from Paris and is soon joined in her refuge by Louis’ gay brother, Paul (French singer Louis-Ronan Choisy in his first screen appearance). The two strangers gradually develop an unusual and deeply moving relationship as Ozon continues his unique exploration of the nature of family and blood ties.

Two days later, I called her and proposed we do a film inspired by her pregnancy. At first she was delighted, but a week later she pulled out. This was her second child, she knew what she was in for and didn’t feel capable of being both an actress and pregnant. Disappointed, I was about to scrap the project when my casting director Sarah Teper informed me: “There are three pregnant actresses in Paris right now, and one of them is Isabelle Carré.” My enthusiasm immediately returned. Isabelle’s youthful image was inspiring – she still didn’t quite seem like a grown woman to me. I called her, we met and I told her about the project. She thought it over for two days and said yes. For ages, I’d dreamt of doing a film with a pregnant actress. I’ve often explored the theme of motherhood, but I’ve never really looked specifically at pregnancy. It was either passed over with an ellipsis, briefly illustrated with a fake stomach, or the film began after the child was born. The script To start with, I had Isabelle read a three-page treatment outlining the character’s trajectory. Then I wrote the screenplay, seeing her regularly throughout. She was six months pregnant, and I’d ask her to tell me about the emotions and sensations she was experiencing. I had some hunches, but I needed certain concrete details: can you manage this particular movement? What do you eat? How do you get out of bed? What have you been dreaming about? The film is, in part, a documentary about Isabelle. Even though Mousse is very different from her, Isabelle really nourished the story and inspired us. Isabelle followed the screenplay development closely, and I think she enjoyed it. Since we needed to write quickly, I asked a young screenwriter, Mathieu Hippeau, to help me. I gave him the framework for the scenes and he fleshed them out. He brought a lot of life and tenderness to the dialogue. We got straight to the heart of things, with no filters. The screenplay didn’t go through the usual stages that tend to create a distance. The desire to film a pregnant woman A pregnant woman is fascinating to behold. Her body undergoes a metamorphosis, grows rounder… it’s very attractive, sensual and mysterious. I feel a little bit like the Marie Rivière character, or the man at the café in the film: everyone wants to touch a pregnant woman! I told Isabelle from the start, “I want to eroticize your body, your belly. It needs to be very present, visible. I’m going to film it, caress it, that’s what the film is about.” A new beginning starts through this belly. The relationship between Mousse and Paul takes shape around this belly. It’s the basis for their connection. Shooting with a pregnant actress During the preparation period, Isabelle could easily distinguish between herself and the Mousse character. She had no fear of the dialogue or situations. But when we began shooting, it became more difficult. She found herself speaking lines and playing scenes that didn’t jibe with her own personal experience of pregnancy. For example, off camera 6140 W. Washington Blvd. Culver City, California 90232 Phone: 310-836-7500 Fax: 310-836-7510 Email: [email protected] Website: www.strandreleasing.com she was constantly communicating with her baby, touching her stomach or talking to it, while in the film Mousse pays it no mind, she’s pregnant by accident, and she’s keeping the baby mainly as a link to the man she loved and lost. Isabelle is a brilliant actress, very aware of her art, but in this film her physical state brought with it a kind of uncertainty, it blurred the lines. She was ultra sensitive and often in a fragile state. Walking along an exposed beach with the wind whipping around her, climbing a dune with eight extra kilos, having to do multiple takes getting up from a chair… She would tire easily and soon found the shoot extremely difficult from a physical standpoint. She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to make it to the end, physically or mentally. But I was confident. I knew she was a solid actress. It’s always very moving for a director to capture a moment when his actress loses control… You sense her emotions getting away from her, she wants to resist but ultimately surrenders and offers you this precious, true and very private piece of herself. The maternal instinct In our society, motherhood is highly idealized and associated with extremely positive imagery. I wanted to show that things are often far more complex. The maternal instinct is not a given. Mousse does not experience her pregnancy as a process of procreation. Most of all, it’s a way of accepting Louis’ death, a tool for mourning. Carrying and giving life becomes a way of soothing the pain and injustice of her lover’s death. Mousse’s body is simply a temporary place of passage, the site of a transmission. Drug addicts who try to kick the habit are often very clear about their emotions and desires. Their sensitivity is heightened. Mousse is lucid about her situation. She doesn’t lie to herself, and to the end she makes a decision that is very honest on a personal level: she’d rather leave than pretend to be a mother. Mousse This name imposed itself in a strange way, instinctively and for no particular reason. I liked the way it sounded: sweet and moist. We know nothing about the girl’s past, where she comes from, her family… but the name immediately sets her apart from the classic French names of the other characters, Louis and Paul. The refuge The apartment where Mousse and Louis shoot up is a cocoon, a refuge in which they have barricaded themselves. But Mousse is going to have to emerge and confront the real world outside. She is devastated by Louis’ death, and hurt by her mother-in-law’s request that she abort. Ultimately, she leaves the refuge of heroin and finds another refuge, far from the city, close to the ocean and to nature, a place where she will continue to struggle, but will ultimately succeed in making peace with herself. In this place, Mousse opens herself up to moments of serenity and tenderness that she had not allowed herself to feel previously. For me, LE REFUGE is the story of this healing process, which is violent and painful, but the story is told very gently. It’s also a film about loss and doing without. Doing without drugs. Losing love. Losing someone. Mousse and Paul are two people with no reason to be together, they never should have met, and yet they will help each other, confide in each other. They are both on the margins, seeking their identities. At the end of the film, they find their place, and 6140 W.

  • Haunting the Beach in the Films of François Ozon
    ORE Open Research Exeter TITLE The possibilities of a beach: queerness and Francois Ozon's beaches AUTHORS Handyside, Fiona JOURNAL Screen DEPOSITED IN ORE 21 May 2013 This version available at http://hdl.handle.net/10871/9549 COPYRIGHT AND REUSE Open Research Exeter makes this work available in accordance with publisher policies. A NOTE ON VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication The possibilities of a beach: queerness and François Ozon’s beaches FIONA HANDYSIDE The assertion that François Ozon’s films are part of ‘a new queer cinema’ has become a commonplace of academic writing about the director.i Equally, recent criticism of the films has been unable to ignore the insistence with which they return to a beach setting, to the extent that the Guardian’s film critic, Peter Bradshaw, labelled it his ‘signature location’, conferring the beachscape the role of auteurist sign in Ozon’s filmography.ii Of his eleven feature films released since 1998’s Sitcom, four have heavily featured the beach (Sous le sable/Under the Sand [2001] 5x2; [2005]; Le Temps qui reste/Time to Leave [2006]; Le Refuge/The Hideaway [2009]). Furthermore, two of his shorts (one of which is rather more medium length, with a running time of an hour) also make use of the beach as a key site for the playing out of their stories (Une robe d’été/A Summer Dress [1996]; Regarde la mer/See The Sea [1997]).

  • The New Girlfriend

The film is a loose adaptation of a 15-page short story by Ruth Rendell, similar in tone and spirit to the television series Alfred Hitchcock Presents. In it, a woman discovers that her friend’s husband is a closet crossdresser. He becomes a girlfriend to her, but when he declares his love and tries to make love with her, she kills him. I read the short story at the time of SUMMER DRESS, some twenty years ago, and wrote a faithful adaptation for a short film, but I couldn’t get financing or find the right cast so I abandoned the project. But the story stayed with me, indeed haunted me, over the years. It occurred to me that most of the films I liked about crossdressing were the ones where the character crossdresses not out of a personal desire but because of outside constraints: Musicians disguise themselves as women to outfox the mafia in SOME LIKE IT HOT; an unemployed actor becomes an actress in order to get a role in TOOTSIE; another broke actress turns actor in VICTOR VICTORIA.

I consequently wrote “Un Incompris”, which went on before “Fils de Personne” at the dress rehearsal. But the next day, a decree was issued ordering theatres to close at ten in the evening (it was during German occupation), and “Un Incompris”, put on in the provinces and abroad, was never staged in Paris. I was interested in making “Un Incompris” a sort of counterpart to “Fils de Personne”, a counterpart drawing on caricature.

  • Sex After Death: Franc¸Ois Ozon’S Libidinal Invasions Screen.Oxfordjournals.Org
    Downloaded from Sex after death: Franc¸ois Ozon’s libidinal invasions screen.oxfordjournals.org MAX CAVITCH By now it should be well understood, within and beyond the bounds of gender and sexuality studies, that queer praxis has been both a sustained at University of Pennsylvania Library on February 28, 2011 response to a particular history of loss and an important contribution to the ongoing psychosocial project of theorizing mourning. Among other things, ‘queering’ mourning has meant overruling reticence with the antagonistically explicit; displacing mortuary and memorial decorum with improvised and impatient performances; reconceiving illness, care and forms of farewell to accommodate new experiences of familiarity with, and estrangement from, bodies; freshly embracing the work of anger, ambivalence and melancholy. It has meant risking not only futures but the very consolations of futurity in favour of preposthumous resistance to the logics of reproduction and self-bestowal. And it has meant coming to terms with pleasure at the core of the experience of mourning. To say that mourning has become a way of life is banal, for it has never been anything else. And the sanguine recommendation that loss be apprehended as ‘productive rather than pathological’ is too weak a tonic 1 1 David L. Eng and David Kazanjian, for many. But to assert that mourning entails a phenomenology of Loss: the Politics of Mourning pleasure remains as provocative today as it was when Karl Abraham and (Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 2003), p. ix. Sigmund Freud, early in the last century, noted with perplexity and discomfort the libidinal assertiveness of grief.
